You sound like Miley right now. I do. Yeah, because Miley's got a real deep register, I feel like. And you are the most hungover right now. My voice is very low. Yeah. Is it kind of sexy or no?

Like Phoebe Buffay when she's sick. Yeah, exactly. Are you hungover or are you tired? I think today I'm tired, but yesterday I was tired and hungover. Yeah. But I am also tired. All right. Well.

I mean, I am also hungover. Yeah, see? Brain is fried. But you know what? A horse voice and stuff is just proof of a great time, you know? That's true. So I'm okay with it. We are broadcasting.

Well, not live live this is taped it's so weird that go into radio world when like i'm like trying to transition to things and i need to stop doing that you're listening to 105fm we're broadcasting live from brandy's mom's house right now. Studio City. It's beautiful here. Is it? It's actually gross out. It's whatever. It's freezing for LA.

It is a little bit cold. And Sarah's hanging out with us as well. Yeah, I got nothing else to do. Well, so I'm leaving tomorrow. Where the hell are you going? On a jet plane. I'm going to New York for like 11 days. What?

To go work on a project. Is it a secret project? I think so. I don't really know. So anyways. I think I hate it. I don't know the words. I think it's secret.

To use here. Okay. Anyways, I go to New York for that. And so I was like, meetings all day today. And then I got home. And Sarah, I was like, you're going to hate me. I got to go over to Brandy's. We got to do this podcast. I was like, you're going to hate me but I got to go over to Brandy's

and we got to do this podcast. I was like, you come with us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's worth spending time before I have to leave tomorrow.

Oh, it's cute because you're not going to New York at all. No. Okay. I'm actually going to New York as soon as he gets back. No.

Yeah, I know. Why do you guys do this to yourselves? I don't know. Why does our work do this to us? It's true. You want to start a show?

Sure. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. And Sarah. And Sarah. I'm here too.

And Sarah. This is going to be good because we're going to talk Game of Thrones. Oh, yeah. And Sarah was the most annoying last night when we watched Game of Thrones. Did you talk the whole time? Why is it annoying? Why were you annoying?

Yes. I talked a lot during it. I had had a couple cocktails with my girlfriend beforehand. So I was already on the edge of my seat from that. And then you put last night's episode into it. Oh, yeah. And it's just you're off your seat. You're flying, flying. It was just a lot're off your seat. You're flying, flying.

It was just a lot of her yelling at the screen. I did the same thing. And I'm like, shut up. I need to know what they're saying here. I know. I watch Game of Thrones like guys watch football. I think that they can hear me and that they can take my advice.

Uh-huh. Like, guys are like, why didn't you do that play? What the hell?, guys are like, why didn't you do that play? What the hell? Oh, my God. And I'm like, why didn't you start off with the fucking dragons?

Yeah. What the hell? Oh, man. Yeah. I'm like the cheer mom during Game of Thrones. Like, when one of the characters does something right,

I'm like, yes! Yeah. Get it, Danny! Yeah. Okay, well, Danny didn't do anything right. He didn't do shit. He didn't do shit.

Nothing. Oh, I'm glad that you guys are having a nice date flying dragons over a war zone. Yeah. But might want to come on down and help us out. Okay, so are we just going to start the show with this? Do you want to start with Stagecoach? Sure. Let's start with Stagecoach because we've got to figure out what's wrong with your voice.

And so everyone needs to understand what's going on. You were at Stagecoach all weekend, which looked really cool. It was mega lit. New favorite festival. Beats Coachella by far. I know. My brother's been saying that for years now. But the thing is, I'm not a big country guy.

No offense to your father. I'm not either. Not either. Oh, my father played the Diplo stage. I know. Your family is now transcending music at this point. Yeah. Like, your dad played the Diplo stage at Stagecoach,

which, by the way, Diplo's at Stagecoach? I wondered the same thing. And then playing a Lil Nas X remix with BRC. Yeah. I mean, what time was that at? Diplo started at 5 till 12. Oh, wow. And then my dad went on at like 12.30.

Did people just go nuts? People were so hammered by the time it even started. Did they know it was going to happen? Because we knew that this was going to happen, but we couldn't say anything. Yeah, exactly. Was it like out there? So it wasn't really out there, but I think yesterday evening, they kind of started to drop hints because they wanted to make sure people,

because it was the last thing of the night. Yeah, they didn't want everyone to just leave. And so they dropped some hints, low-key on social media. And then the other thing that really made people aware was that they went by the stage at like 9 o'clock and did a quick little sound check,

side stage, check their in-ears. And there were already like 200, 300 people just standing right there, like no, knowing something was up. And when they saw my dad on the side of the stage, soundchecking, they started chanting like Billy Ray,

Billy Ray, and like singing old town road and stuff. And so I'm sure they went and told their little friends and those friends told their friends. And I think word traveled pretty fast. I mean, you want the word to get out, right?

But that's super cool. It was really epic. Okay, so stagecoach as a whole, I just liked it so much better. I'm not a big country guy either. And honestly, the lineup wasn't impressive at all to me. But it's just so much more laid back. And people are there to actually hear the music and actually have a good time. And I don't know, it caught Coachella to me to say it looks like a costume

party now and no one's even paying attention to the bands. And I don't know, at least here, like everyone was just in like cutoffs and boots and hats and just drunk as fuck and just there to have a good time. And I really liked that about it. So a lot of people do drugs at Coachella. Is Stagecoach just like a beer place? I think so. I think everyone's just hammered out of their minds. Maybe some of them smoke a little weed, but place? I think so. I think everyone's just hammered out of their minds. Maybe some of them smoke a little weed, but it's mostly just alcohol, I think. Just that.

Yeah. Maybe that's why it's better than Coachella. Uh-huh. Live Nation is loving that, because that means, I think it's Live Nation who puts on Stagecoach. I have no idea. Because that means gigantic beer sales.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because festivals that are like raves and stuff, that's Molly molly. People don't really drink on that. They just drink water. Uh-huh. You know?

No. They have like lines forever long of people waiting to get beer and stuff. They have their own beer bars and everything at Stagecoach. So, yeah, I would think they make a killing. So I went the whole weekend. I really did it hard. But my friend Sam Hunt had line Saturday night. Yep.

And we had a group of like, I'd say 15 of us like that are all friends from Nashville that went out into the pit for Sam's set. And Sam hasn't played many shows in the past couple of years. So it was like a rare like appearance for him. And it was just so fun. Like their energy was so great. I think the guys were having fun being on stage. And all of us just had so much fun being together and getting to see Sam play. So that was epic. And then after Sam's set was Neon Carnival. And so Neon Carnival, they've always done it at Coachella.

I'm sure. Have you been? Yeah. To the after party? They do Neon Carnival at Stagecoach now? They just did for the first time this year. Oh. And I didn't know what to expect.

I was like, are these people going to want to go to Neon Carnival? Yeah. Who's going to be there? Are they going to fill it? I had a lot of questions. But so Neon Carnival? Who's going to be there? Are they going to fill it? I had a lot of questions. So Neon Carnival starts at midnight and doesn't have an end time. So by the time we got out of the festival and got to Neon Carnival, it was 2 a.m. That's my nightmare.

2 a.m. I had taken an Adderall at 5 p.m. to make sure I could make it to 2 a.m. And then we get there and there's no more liquor. All the alcohol is like gone. Like by two. Like there was no alcohol left. It starts at midnight. It was crazy.

How are you like not prepared to last two hours? I have no idea. But somebody did a solid and had snuck in their own liquor somehow. Amazing. And let us have like two bottles of it. So we actually, yeah, it was nuts. Like full like alcohol bottles? Yes, like full bottles. Oh!

It was fabulous. What an angel. We stayed and danced and had so much fun we stayed until 4 a.m we were the last people there like me and my group it was like there's like 15 20 of us and literally the dj shut down left walked out they were sweeping the dance floor and we were still there it was amazing and so we that was 4 a.m By the time we got back to my house, it was like 4.30 a.m. And then everyone just kind of convened in the kitchen and kept the party going.

And then around 5.30, it starts getting light outside. And everyone's like, oh, we got a home. It's daylight. Who got the most lit? I saw Blake was there dressed like a crazy person.

Yes, Blake. Fun story about Blake. Yeah. He made the rookie mistake of wearing black denim and black, like all black, but like denim all day, the first day and all night. Like not cut off? Not, no, like full denim. Oh, God.

Boots and a black tank. And he was chafing so badly that by day two, he was carrying around a little bottle of Gold Bond. Oh, yeah. And was like pouring it in his pants by day two, he was carrying around a little bottle of Gold Bond and was like pouring it in his pants like all day. It was amazing. Can you imagine how gross his balls smelled?

So gross. Oh, so gross. I do not want to think about Blake's balls. No. And he's kind of like, you know, women want to do sex with him.

Do sex. Do the sex thing. Give him dip, Jack. Deep dip him in Blake. But can you imagine you know, women want to do sex with them? Do sex. Do the sex thing. Get some jib jacking. Deep dick from Blake. But can you imagine if that for a month? Oh my God. Can you imagine?

It's like, listen, you're hot and all, but I can't get anywhere near that, bro. That's really gross. Oh my God.

Was he wearing one of his nipple shirts? Yes. Nipples were out. He loves the nips out. He loves it. Yes. Nipples were out. He loves the nips out. He loves it. Yeah. Nips were out.

And then he had some like puppies and country music equals love shirt on or something. Oh yeah. It was classic. So just first trap. So he wanted his sweaty balls to be. I think so. He had all over the place. Wait.

I saw this today and it was a girl on Molly telling another couple how much she loves them. And it was like, this is why I can't do festivals because I hate this person. Here it is. I try to come from a good place in my heart

and I want you two to see throughout the darkest parts of your life and think with a little bit of joy in your life because because look at me in the eyes. You guys are doing great in your lives and you're not doing great.

But you are today. And you keep it the fuck up. I've definitely been that drunk girl in the bathroom to another girl talking exactly like that. That's insane. I love it. No, I hate that. You know what?

I would run into that girl at freaking Coachella and I would be like, I'm going to murder her. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. Wow. So anyways. So I pulled an all-nighter Saturday night

and the first couple nights, so I had a four-bedroom house. And originally, there were only eight of us staying there. And my friend Rebecca, who helps take photos for me and stuff, she lives in Denver, was coming for the first two nights. And then she had a 6 a.m. flight on Sunday. So she left Neon Carnival at 4, went to the house, got her bags, and went straight to the airport.

It was insane. Good. Yeah, in Palm Springs. And so I was like was like yes i get my own bed tonight no uh my friend ryan follows a he um came in and was like and i was like literally it was i was gonna either make him sleep on the floor or let him sleep in my king-size bed and i was like it's fine i'm just share bed snored all night didn't sleep at all really yeah well all night you went to bed at five so he slept all of the hours i had to i mean he snored all of the hours i had to sleep and i was upset but didn't have the heart to say anything or anything like that but it made me realize i

love ryan to death but i could not be with someone that snores oh does he snore? I plead the fifth. Oh my God, he does. That's a big old temp for there, good buddy. You snore? Yeah, he snores. How do you sleep through it? It's real hard because I also have insomnia. So like, I know, trust me. He falls asleep as soon as he puts his head to the pillow. And snores?

Are snoring? And snores. And sometimes he snores so loud that he actually wakes himself up. That's not okay. I could not be with you. Okay. Good to know. I learned the biggest thing I took away from this weekend is I cannot be with

someone that snores. Thank God. Michelle? Michelle doesn't snore? Michelle Huseman does not snore. I told him, I said, I think that would be a deal breaker for me. Really? Deal breaker, deal breaker. If I can't sleep, sleep is my number one priority in life. Yeah, it's very important.

What? Everything. How do you deal with it? What do you do? Sometimes I hit you in the chest or roll you over. My mom, my father snores a lot. He has to have a sleep apnea machine or something like that. Before he got that machine, he would stop breathing.

And my mom got so accustomed to it that while she was sleeping in the middle of the night, she would hear him stop breathing and just karate chop him in the chest. And he'd be like, and then continue snoring. So I think I have my mother's patience in that aspect. But I've taken some tips from her where I try to roll you over or just kind of shake you until you wake up just a little bit so then you don't realize that you're waking up, but you stop snoring and then I'm like, okay, I have T-minus five minutes to try and fall asleep before he starts snoring again. I've been smoking weed at night now. I had not smoked weed since I was like in high school and stuff. I know, you gotta. Now it's helped me sleep.

Like I'm fine sleeping. It's falling asleep that's hard for me. So when there's like snoring, that's what's hard. How does that make you feel, Wells? I'm just amazed she's still with me. That's what I'm fine sleeping. It's falling asleep that's hard for me. So when there's like snoring, that's what's hard. How does that make you feel, Wells? I'm just amazed she's still with me. That's what I'm saying. This is true love. I love him.

Wow. There's so many negatives to me. That's not true at all. Snoring is definitely up there. Is it? Maybe number one. Is it? It's a bad thing.

What's number two? I don't know. I feel like number two is you asking what number two is to try and start a fight. To try and trap me in one of your little trick podcast holes. Wow. Anyway. I feel terrible about it. So I need to get some sort of mask or something.

I don't know if there's a solution. No, you're fine, babe. I am? You're good. I promise you. Do I need to get a mouth guard? No. Breathe right strips? She says that now. I don't know if there's a solution. No, you're fine, babe. I am? You're good. I promise you. Do I need like a mouth guard? No. Breathe right strips?

She says that now. I have no idea. Give it like five years. I mean, we've been living together for well over six months now. Yeah. And been together for over a year and a half. I'm fine with it. I would have given him his own room by now.

I'm serious. You sleep in a guest room. Exactly. No, I love you too much. I love by now. I'm serious. You sleep in a guest room. Exactly. No, I love you too much. I love you too. I'm sorry. Don't apologize. You can't help it.

And you can't help that you like fall asleep fast and normal like a normal person. Here's the weird thing though. Like if I am alone, it takes me forever to fall asleep. But when I'm in bed with her, immediately I have sleep. He's trying to make up for this lie. It's cute. Yeah, I know. No, he says this all the time. No, it's true. He's like, I'm in bed with her, immediately I have sleep. He's trying to make up for this lie. It's cute. Yeah, I know.

No, he says this all the time. No, it's true. He's like, I'm just comfy with you. I'm sorry. I don't know what it is, but it's like the second we get in bed,

she's like playing her little like brick breaker game or something. I don't know what the hell she's playing. Like chop the ninja fruit or something.

I don't know. I do not play ninja chopper fruit. What do you play though? It's some sort of thing. It's like the candy crush. Yeah, it's one of your favorite things. Let's be honest. It's not play Ninja Chopper fruit. What do you play though? It's some sort of thing. It's like the Candy Crush. It's one of your favorite things. Let's be honest.

It's not one of my favorite things. It's actually my least favorite thing because I'm addicted to it. Anyway, she does that and I'm like, she'll put on a show and straight up, I will get through

about three minutes of it. Yeah. And then the next day she'll be like, I watched three episodes and I'm like, got to catch up or I'll just tell you what happened. I'll figure it out. And then she'll be like, no, I episodes and I'm like, got to catch up. Or I'll be like, just tell me what happened.

I'll figure it out. And then she'll be like, no, I didn't show you. I watched it. So then we go to the episode and we fast forward through it. And she's like, tell me when you fell asleep. And no fucking joke. I sometimes lie to say that I got further than I really did. I know that like the credits of like the beginning have even ended where I'm like.

Oh my God. I like to say one of my favorite things. Oh, wait. I do it after. the credits of like the beginning have even ended where I'm like oh my god I like to say one of my favorite things oh wait I do it after Black Summer on Netflix wait you've already

talked about this haven't you yeah we did Jamie King show but she I've seen that show probably a total of six times now

just because of re-watching episodes so that we all can watch it and I finally finished it. It's good though. It's really good. I'm trying to be healthier, dude.

Join the club. I know. I realize I don't take any vitamins. I know that I'm obviously not eating the things that I need to eat to keep my body in top peak condition. Yeah, tacos and margaritas aren't exactly at the top of the list.

It's not a full, balanced pyramid scheme of healthy nutrients. So, dude, we've been doing, have you heard of Care Of? I have, actually. Okay, so basically you go online, you kind of do this this quiz, you figure out like what you need and then they package all the vitamins and like probiotics and all the stuff

that we need to get into? Last but certainly not least, highlight of the festival was my dad's set. We opened with... Well, I know we started, but I gotta say, no one really knew what to expect.

First of all, that kid, Lil Nas, he's 23 years old, he's so young. His first performance anywhere ever. Really? Can you imagine that? What?

Did you see any videos from it? No. Of how many people were there? I saw your videos. And how lit it was. Yeah. Could you imagine that being your first show? How'd he do?

Great. Yeah. And out of everybody, he was the least nervous. Like my dad was kind of nervous. Yeah. And everybody, I mean, there was a lot going on. And it was late and stuff. And he was so chill and he absolutely killed it but i just have never in my life seen a crowd sing as loud as they were singing and not only the chorus but like they

sang my dad's verse with him like louder than he was like it was the craziest thing and i just like i'll never forget we get we get back in like the van that ran us like to the stage to go back to base camp. And there was like an older guy in the front. And I think he's probably been working this festival for like a really long time or whatever. And we all get in and he turns to my dad and he goes, man, he goes, you just changed the face of music. You just created a new genre, man. It was so sweet.

I know. It was really cool. How does Blood feel about his performance? At first, he like,, he was saying that... Have you ever been on stage with any ears in? Yeah. Okay. So we went and did this whole sound check so that his ears were right.

And for musicians, having your ears right is a really big deal. And when they're not right and you have to take them out, then you just can't hear anything, right? So he did a sound check and then we get up there for the performance. And what we didn't know until afterwards was for some reason, somebody messed up and put one of the stage managers in his ears. And it was way louder than even the track, his own vocal, or anything else. And so all he could hear was someone blaring in his ear about like,

stage left this, stage right this. And he was a living when he got off the stage about it. I was too. And he was so upset thinking he screwed up, and he felt living when he got off the stage about it. I would be too. And he was so upset thinking like he's screwed up and he felt like he wasn't on, on like the right time and stuff like that. But once he watched it back, he was like,

Oh my gosh, you'd like, you really can't. We were like, you can't tell. And once he watched it back, he was like, you're right.

And he's now he's like totally fine and so happy. But did he take them out? Well, he was playing guitar. Oh, so he was like, I didn't have a free hand to even take my ears off. No hands.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. I know. Oh, how he can't even take my ears off. No hands. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I know. Oh, how did he do that? I don't know. It's impressive. That's talent. Yeah.

But anyway, great night. That's awesome. Great night. Yeah. I wish I went there, but I was in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Oh. What's there? Stage coach two.

Yeah. That's where the real country folks are, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Oh. What's there? Stage coach two. That's where the real country folks are, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It's like one of my oldest buddies in the world. That was my best friend growing up. We went to college together. We lived together in Nashville and in college. And he's got two little boys who I don't really know, which is weird that I've got a best friend that I don't really know, which is weird that I've got a best friend

that I don't really know his kids. So I was like, I need to go out there. And one side had some health issues. So I need to go out there and spend time with him because he's so busy he can't come visit me. And he's got this kid that has been really sick recently. So it's a lot of issues. So I went out there and one of the

my favorite things that happened to me was we went to the country club which he lives on a golf course okay and so we go to the country club and i'm lit at this point we've been like drinking all day right and there is a sorority party happening in the ballroom and so like i'm more and more drinking the more i'm like i really want to go into this it's a formal or whatever i was like i really want to go crash this thing but i was like but i must document because i'm like drunk at this point being like this something's a little funny is going to happen here so i like document myself outside the bathroom being like there there's a sorority for me. I'm going to go in right now.

Here I go. Crash it. And as I walk in there, and I'm just dancing like the biggest jackass in the entire world. So everyone was like, what is this guy doing? So then finally the head of the sorority comes up to me, and she's like, this is a sorority formal. You weren't invited. You need to leave. And I was like, you're kicking me out.

You're kicking me out. And she's like, yes, you got to go. And I was like, come on, why? I'm just dancing. I'm having a good time. She was like, you need to leave. And I was like, okay. I was like, what's this sorority?

What school? You guys on Instagram? So I was like I was like I bet you I bet you 10 bucks that you invite me back in here in like 20 minutes

and she was like no no and I was like I bet you and I'm so drunk and so cocky and she'd be like

I bet you you do it and I walked outside went and had like three more drinks and then by then some saw my stories and they were like

well let's go back in. Let's do the thing. And I was like, nope, you kicked me out. You didn't go back? No, but then they all wanted. You didn't collect your $10? No, I didn't. I felt, like next morning, I felt kind of bad.

I wasn't trying to be mean. Obviously, like I wasn't invited. So then they came and they were like, hey, a bunch of girls want to take pictures? And I was like, yeah, sure. So I went outside. I was taking pictures with all of them. And the girl who kicked me out leans outside the van. She goes, I can't

believe you fucking tagged us! And I was like, oh! You're like, thank God I didn't go back. I was like, that's why you don't kick me out, I guess. Anyways, one of my favorite things is, whatever that sorority was, they're very wonderful women. And I'm sorry if I came across as an asshole.

I had a wonderful time at your formal and hopefully next year I get invited back. That is insane. You get invited back? You weren't invited in the first place.

It's true. I hope next time I don't get kicked out again. Oh, that's good. Now we're back though and GOT F3 Yeah.

airs last night and as much as I bitched and moaned about last week's F, it came with the fire. Literally. Or lack thereof. Yeah. Man, I don't even know how to get into it. Well, let me just first tell you that the reason I'm so freaking tired

is because I got back. Snoring? No. Well, that did happen also, but I got back from my dad's show at like 2, and we all stayed up and watched Game of Thrones last night. So I was up until 3.30 watching it. It was insane. Did it seem really dark?

Everyone is saying this, and so I was re-watching it actually when you guys were on your way over, and I was like, I wonder what happens if I mess with the settings on the TV. Most newer TVs now have all these different settings

like standard, cinema, gaming, or sports, or whatever. So if you put it on the cinema setting, it's actually a lot brighter. Okay. That's good to know

because we watch it in the theater room and so that's a projection so I don't really know. The projectors are never quite as clear anyway. And I was sitting there being like, they spent

so much money on this one scene. This is their coup de grace. And I can't fucking see anything. This is like a worldwide complaint. I've heard so many people talk about this. But pro tip, turn your TV on cinema mode.

It really made a huge, freaking difference. Okay, let's just rip through who dies. Who's dead? Mormont. And somebody spoiled that on Instagram.

Both of the Mormonts. While I was at Stagecoach, I knew I shouldn't open Instagram because I couldn't watch the show until later. But it's just habit. I opened it. First thing that pops up, Kevin Love posted a photo of her and was like, RIP.

And I was like, no. Damn you, Kevin Love. I know. Wait, so wait, hold on. Jorah Mormont? Jorah. Jorah and Liana Mormont. Yeah.

Our dad. Jorah's death's been coming for a long time. Yeah. I mean, he's been dying for seasons already. Yeah. Yeah. I know. How many times can Sam save you from your gross herpes skin?

Yes. Blech. But I will say Liena's death is pretty fucking dope. Super badass. But also like a little simple cinematic storytelling of the littlest person kills the biggest person. Yeah, but I love it. Did you watch the behind the episode? Yes. No. Oh, they talk a little bit about that. Oh. Yeah, but I love it. Did you watch the behind the episode? Yes.

No. Oh, they talk a little bit about that. Oh, then no, I didn't. You went directly to bed. Oh gosh,

I said I haven't watched it even that late. They talk about how her character originally, when she was first introduced, it was like a one line character and because people loved her so much, they wrote her in more

and more and more and so they were like because she's become such a beloved character we wanted to really give her a great exit and a great you know death scene or whatever

so it's cool you should watch that that meme of the goat that's like and then it's like it's her that's so fucking funny

so good okay so that was sad that both of them died and then what's the dude with the from the wall yes one of John's best friends fucking funny. So good. Okay, so that was sad that both of them died. And then, what's the dude with the... From the wall. Yes.

One of John's best friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I cannot remember his name, but he has like long hair. He's funny. He was giving Sam shit about like... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

His name. Being like a girl and like, yeah, you're a white walker killer and a lady killer. Yeah. All that stuff that the episode before. Yeah. I can't remember his name. That was... He did have a funny line about that. Yeah. It was like, yeah, you're a White Walker killer and a lady killer. Yeah. All that stuff, the episode before.

Yeah. I can't remember his name. That way he did have a funny line about that. Yeah. It was like, this really must be the end of the world. Yeah, yeah. R.I.P. If Sam's getting all the hot ass and killing White Walkers.

Okay, then the flame sword man. Yep. Yes. And he saves Aria. So like, that's his purpose. Totally. That's why he was brought back. So that's his purpose. Totally. That's why he was brought back to save Arya. Thought for sure Arya was going to die.

You really did? I thought so too. I kept waiting for some big Arya swap spaces to get something done. Still hasn't told anyone about her power yet. It's insane. You really were going to do that big war? Sansa knows. Sansa knows.

Sansa knows. To the point where when she kills the Night King, part of me was like, this can't be real. There was no face swap. The whole episode. This can't be the end. Well, the face swap will come with the whole Cersei thing. I guess that they're waiting for that. I thought, when she comes in there at the end, I was like, well, she's going to die.

Like, for sure going to die. But that move she makes where she drops the knife. So dope. So smart. Oh, super dope. Yeah. Oh, Theon. And Theon.

I was really sad. I know, but like- Couldn't she have just come like 60 seconds sooner? I know. I know. And he did a really good job for fighting them off. But also, that's who you're protecting

the three-eyed raven with is the guy who has been the biggest wuss this entire time. He had to redeem himself. He came back to redeem himself. I know, but I'm just talking about

like planning of a war. I know, you would have thought it would be like Jon Snow. Get Jon, or get the red-headed White Walker. Oh.

The red-headed wildling. Wildling, yeah. That guy kicks ass and takes names. no or get the red headed White Walker the red headed wildling wildling yeah that guy kicks ass and takes names why isn't he out there

well I mean we don't see much of him this episode no he the last I don't know where he is I know he's alive but

he's just like bloodied up yeah he's alive that's all that matters a lot of people are saying John's dragon is dead but I didn't see it die

and I don't believe it. In the upcoming episodes it looks like I saw two dragons flying. Yeah. John's dragon ain't dead. No, I don't think it's dead. I don't think so.

I do want to know where the hell Ghost is. Yes, I know. I was also watching and I was like why are they sending Ghost on the front line? Front line.

Are you kidding me? It's a dog. It's a dog. It's a dog. But he's a badass dog. He is, but you don't see him die. Maybe put Ghost with Bran and Theon.

I don't understand. It's a dog. Yeah, I agree. I don't like that. I think he's fine. I'm not worried about that. And then Bran could have warged into as Ghost and stuff

if shit popped off. He's smart. You should be a writer for this show. I know. This is why I yell at the TV, giving them my play-by-plays that they should play. You guys in a 3-4 defense? Come on, switch to nickel, man. What's going on

here? It's a language I have no idea how to speak. Okay, hold on. And then we just gotta get into it. What the fuck is John and Daenerys? Really, guys? And I get that you guys got lost in the mist, the cold mist. Okay. Use the fire breath to slight the way back to every...

If I was fighting down... If I was one of the Unsullied, I'd be like, what the fuck are they doing? Yeah. Literally doing... The one thing we need you guys to do is to light the big trench thing. No, like the red woman had to do it. Melisandre had to light it on fire because the dragons were up in the sky making out. Yeah.

It was not cool. The whole time I was like, I can't see. I don't know what's happening. This is taking too long. Like, what are they doing? I just don't understand how Jorah survived that long when he was on the front lines, as well as, like, Brienne and Jaime and Jondry. I'm just like, how are they?

I get it. You gotta keep them alive. But, like, how are they not dead? I don't understand. Grey Worm, too. How are you not dead? Thank God. I literally was like, if Grey Worm dies, I'm out of here.

I'm done. He can't die. There was a moment where you was like, if Gray Worm dies, I'm out of here. I'm done. He can't die. There was a moment where you're like, is Gray Worm going to puss out? I know. I was kind of hoping he was going to, to be like, true love is better than dying for honor. For my dragon queen that's not using her dragons. Yeah, like, why am I fighting if

they're not fighting with dragons? But anyways, it was a good episode. It was such a good episode. I mean, we're talking all this crap because for me personally, I'm like, what? We could have done this so much better, guys. Yeah, I know. But like, it's Game of Thrones. Best TV show ever of all time.

It was super, super great. Such a good episode. Arya is so cool. She's the coolest. Also, can I just ask this? Is Sansa and Tyrion going to fuck? Is that what we're seeing? Now that Theon's a goner, I wouldn't put it past her.

I know. Like, that whole Sansa-Theon thing, gone. I thought that was going to go down. I was kind of excited about that. There was a moment where we were talking about it that we thought that Sansa and Tyrion were going to, like, do, like, a mass suicide together. Oh, God.

Because they were both hiding behind the crypt. When they were behind that stone and she pulled out the dagger, we were like, oh, they're going to kill each other. This is like Romeo and Juliet. That would have been tight, maybe. Oh, my gosh. Oh, people are going to really not like that we said that.

That's funny, though. Remember Juliet? It's like a classic romance. Yeah, we're trying to figure out what else. I don't know. They're not real people. What else? Anything else?

I mean, I just was really disappointed in the lack of like Jon Snow doing anything. I mean, he didn't do anything. I just feel like it wasn't a great battle plan. That's my whole thing. Yeah, it just wasn't smart. No. It's like, I know you had like 24 hours of like oh yeah

they'll be here before the sun comes up so get your shit together now I just feel like it could have been played out smarter yeah

but go Arya alright so up next they've got to travel down to Cersei yes but they have like Cersei has the iron bank behind her

she's bought in the Golden Compass missionaries yeah and she's not completely decimated by freaking White Walkers the North have

zero Dothraki zero zero basically like what five percent of their unsullied

unsullied is still alive do you think maybe the third dragon is going to make a comeback now that he's not? I think that it's done. No.

He's gone? No, because everything that Night brought back to life in zombie form dies when he dies. Yeah. No, but I just was really hoping the dragon would make a comeback.

No, I think it's done, dude. Yeah. But there could be new dragons. Could. I mean, who knows? Repopulate. Yeah, get some more dragons up there. I kind of like your theory that Tyrion was going to get a dragon.

That's what we all mean, because he's freaking... Well, that's why Dany, Jon, and Tyrion all can't survive. I think there's going to be dragon for each Targaryen. I need that to start coming up. I need someone to figure out how Tyrion's a Targaryen. It's coming. It's got to be coming soon. How are they going to figure that out, though?

Just Bran? Maybe Bran. Because Bran still doesn't know yet. Okay. Also, will Dany and Jon be like, so... Are they going to address the whole, I'm your aunt? We've been nephew fucking. It's hot nephew fucking.

I mean, I'm totally on board with it, but I just, both of their reactions were like, don't take my throne, or my father lied to me, and not like, oh, I've been having sex with my aunt. But if they get married and they both are on the throne, what does it matter? Yeah. You know? I know. I mean, that married then they both are on the throne. What does it matter? Yeah. Yeah.

You know? I know. I mean, that's my thought on it but anyways. Game of Thrones. Great stuff, guys. Great stuff.

Most favorite thing of all time. It is pretty great. I'm so sad there's only three left. I don't know how I'm going to go on. I know. I don't either, dude.

I feel like how I felt with Lost. Yeah. It was like, what am I going to do on Sunday nights? I bought the first book, though. Did you? I started reading them. Yeah.

See, you still got, there's still more. Yeah, yeah. One of my buddies was complaining about how he didn't think that the zombie portion of Game of Thrones was ever really necessary. Now seeing that it's over, being like, that's just some weird side plot. We're all really waiting for the fight between Cersei and Daenerys. It's true, but they did use it to bring Dany and Jon together. That's true.

And also, the only way that this fight is fair is if Daenerys has basically no army left. Because those dragons basically... So what's going to happen is that those two dragons are going to go down there, so you've got to kill one of them. is fair is if Daenerys has basically no army left. Because those dragons basically... So what's going to happen is that those two dragons are going to go down there, so you're going to kill one of them. That's going to happen. They show it in the intro of the crossbow shooting the freaking giant

dragon skull. So that's going to happen. There's going to be only one left, and whoever it is, I feel like is going to be the one who's going to be on the Iron Throne. And whoever it is, I feel like it's going to be the one who's going to be on the Iron Throne. On the Iron Throne. And it might,

Daenerys might die. Yeah. No. It could. Anybody can die. I mean, if you started watching this in the beginning,

Jon was the big main character. Uh-huh. You know? So him getting the Iron Throne, I still... And he did die and come back to life. That is true.

And this whole time, I've thought it was to kill the Night King, but since he didn't do that, I'm like, well, shit. Yeah, what is he here for? Yeah. What is he here for?

To kill Cersei? Possible. Or to sire a child with Daenerys. That's what I've always thought. Well, that's it. Like how the prince was promised. Mm-hmm. What if it's Dany and Jon's son? That's the one. That's the actual prince that was promised. What if it's Dany and Jon's son?

That's the one. That's the actual prince that was promised. I still think Tyrion's going to be the one on the Iron Throne. What an amazing thing that would be. Yeah. That'd be dope. No? I kind of want to see a woman on it.

Yeah, same. That's just me. If it's going to be a woman, then you're saying Cersei. No, Dany. I would like Dany. I don't want Cersei to be a woman, then you're saying Cersei. No, Dany. I would like Dany. I don't want Cersei to be on it, but that would also still kind of be badass. I mean, she's been through a lot.

Still doesn't give her a right to be an asshole, but yeah. What I'm saying is that if Jon's still alive at the end, it can't be Daenerys because the rightful throne is Jon's. We are such dorks, by the way. But what if he's like, I love you more than power and I give it to you. Yeah.

I think he probably will do that. I think he totally would do that. Yeah. But then it's like, I don't want to be like that. I never wanted this. Yeah. You chose me.

I just wanted to protect the people in the north. And maybe... We're forgetting, Sansa's going to do something outrageous. Something has to happen. Well, here's the thing though. Yeah. I feel like Sansa's going to be the outrageous. Something has to happen. Well, here's the thing, though. Yeah.

I feel like Sansa's going to be the one that killed Cersei. I would love that. Because I used to think it was going to be Arya that killed Cersei. But now that she's killed. But Arya's done. She's done. Yeah. You know?

She's like when you played in like a baseball game as a kid and you hit a grand slam. Yep. You're done. You didn't need to do anything else the rest of the game. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Arya might play a hand in it with the whole face swap thing,

but I do think Sansa's going to do something big. That's still, though, like, in order for Arya to use Jaime's face to kill Cersei, she would have to kill Jaime. Yeah. I wouldn't put it past her. I would not put it past her, but I don't know. It's interesting.

And then we got, what's-his-face with the crossbow coming after Tyrion and Jaime, supposedly. All right. Don't forget about that. I know. It's interesting. And then we got What's-His-Face with a crossbow coming after Tyrion and Jaime, supposedly. Don't forget about that. I know. All right. We've done enough on Game of Thrones. I know. I know.

I could talk about this for the rest of my life. All right. So I have really been trying to make an effort to replace all of the products in my house, like cleaning products, beauty products, bath products, with stuff that's organic, stuff that uses recyclable materials. I try to use cruelty-free products when I can. So I've really been on the hunt to better what I've got in my house that I'm using in my body. We talk a lot about the ingredients in the food we eat and stuff like that, the beauty products we use, but no one really talks about the ingredients in feminine care products. And I know Wells is going to think this is such a gross topic. My dad's a gynecologist.

I do not. You're right. I forgot about that. Oh, you should fill him in on this actually. But anyway, I'm talking about Lola. I signed up for Lola and they're great. Their products are a hundred percent natural. Really good. Really easy to feel good about. There's no BS. There's no mystery fibers or anything like that. They're 100% organic cotton. No add chemicals, fragrances, synthetics, or dyes, or anything like that. And best of all, it's a subscription service. So when you log on, you actually get to handpick exactly what you want delivered to you and how often you want it. Because everyone's time of the month is different. I know mine's not every month. Mine's actually every five weeks

so you can totally customize it to get it to your door when you need it. Wells? Every five weeks, huh? Is that not normal? I don't know. I was going to say,

Wells, did you ask your dad if I'm okay? Yeah. No, but it's good. You can change it, skip it, or cancel it

at any time. And Lola has so many great things about it, but my favorite thing is that for every purchase, they actually donate feminine care products to homeless shelters in the U.S. That is cool. Super dope.

Yeah. I love it, man. If you're looking to replace your feminine care products with stuff that's better for your body, check out Lola. I made the switch, and I've thrown out all the old stuff, and I'm a huge fan.

make a sandwich. I make like three of these sandwiches. When you go to Whole Foods and you get a, you know, you can go to the plate where they make the sandwiches. Yeah. And if you get one on a gluten-free bread, they give you two. Oh. Oh, wow.

Yeah. They're like, because there's the bread so small, we actually make two sandwiches and give them both. But hey, gluten-free companies make better bread. I don't understand. Why are you making this little hand sandwiches? You know who makes

bigger slices of gluten-free bread and it's really good is La Brea Bakery. You can buy it at Whole Foods. Oh, really? It's my favorite gluten-free bread right now, yeah. You can get it at Whole Foods?

Uh-huh. Okay. Not Whole Foods. It's by Whole Foods. Oh, it's by Whole Foods. No, no. You can buy it at Whole Foods. Okay, that's cool.

Yeah. Wait, yeah. Yeah. Oh.. Oh, it's by Whole Foods. No, no. You can buy it at Whole Foods. Okay, that's cool. Yeah. Wait. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Buy it, B-U-Y. But La Brea Bakery is like a restaurant, I think. Yeah.

Now they make bread for Whole Foods. I don't know. I've been wanting to try and make a gluten-free bread for you, babe. At home. Like from scratch. Yeah. I've been looking up recipes, but I need a standing mixer. Yeah.

We don't have a standing mixer. Just a handheld one. Okay. And don't have a standing mixer, just a handheld one. Okay. And it seems like it's a lot. Be on the next episode of Cooking Wells. Well, howdy there,

friends. Sarah's going to make some fucking bread. I got some postmates the other day and the guy who is delivering it, his name was Josh,

spelled J-A-W-S-H. Okay. Josh. Josh. Okay. Josh. Josh. Pitch would pronounce that Jowish. Jowish. Hey, bro. Really?

I mean, do you think that's his parents? Yeah. Or do you think that's him being like, you know what? This is cooler spelling. Normal Josh isn't good enough. I really hope that's his stage name. Yeah. I really hope his real name is actually like Bob.

It could be his artist name. Yeah. If he's a SoundCloud rapper. What if it's just J-O-S-H? Yeah. You're spelling that out. And he was like, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna put a fucking W in here and I'm gonna swap out

of the vowel. Change your name, bro. All right, actual couple favorite things in other podcasts that you guys should check out. I am getting more and more morbid, but it's just a thing. The Wonderland Murders.

Did I talk about this on the last podcast? I don't think so. The Wonderland Murders is all about the Black Dahlia murder. Oh, yes, you did. But I finished it and it was so good. Is there also a movie or a series about this?

Yeah, there's a TV show. In the night or something with Chris Pine. But the one I just finished, which is freaking amazing, is called Bear Brook. And it's about these kids come across this like barrel in New Hampshire in the forest that's filled with like two people's bodies

and the the cops like that's not funny sorry yeah Jesus I just like filled with two people's bodies

just like yeah that's what it was filled with it was just funny to me so the guy named Josh spelled J-A-W-S-H oh my god and then like 15 years later they found a barrel It was just funny to me. So the guy named Josh, spelled J-A-W-S-H. Oh my God.

And then like 15 years later, they found a barrel, 300 feet from the original barrel that they didn't notice the first time, filled with a bunch more people and kids and stuff. And so like a whole family was taken out, and they're trying to like figure out, and they start using, dude, like 23andMe and Ancestry.com. This was the case that actually broke open the DNA thing that caught the San Francisco guy. Oh, whoa.

And they did it first in this case. And this case is crazy. So Bear Brook, get on it. Great podcast. Oh, didn't my friend tell you to listen to that? Yes. Katie Stevens? Katie Stevens told me both of those ones.

Both of them. I have a new favorite thing that's not new, but I watched it all in one day the other day. Russian Doll. I haven't seen it yet. Oh, yeah. So good. It's the girl from American Pie.

Natasha Lyonne, yeah. And like Orange is the New Black. It's the girl from American Pie. Natasha Lyonne. Orange is the New Black. She's amazing. And it's a very, very good show. It's all about this chick. She's celebrating her 36th birthday or something. And she goes on about her night and gets hit by a cab and dies

and wakes up how the show starts in front of the mirror and sink in the bathroom. And she keeps like, kind of like a death ground hog stay situation. She keeps, every time she dies, she comes back to life and then there's some twists

that are thrown in there. It's really, really good. What was that movie that we watched? It's funny too. Happy Death Day? Yes. Oh yeah, it's like that yeah yeah yeah all right it's good i like it a lot since i'm gonna be away from you yeah i'm gonna watch it because you already

watched it they're like 25 minute episodes oh cool and there's only eight and i brought it up to you before and you said you didn't care oh so that's why i watched it all by myself sorry because you were gone maybe that's that number two most annoying thing. I felt bags on the plane. I did this and it was something we wanted to watch, but I gave it to temptation. It happens, guys. And I watched a movie that we wanted to watch together,

Bad Times at El Royale. Oh, I could not get through that. Oh, I liked it. It was very slow. It's slow in moments that don't need to be slow. I'm like, just cut, whatever. But I really liked it. It was very slow. It's slow in moments that don't need to be slow. I'm like, just cut, whatever. But I really liked it. I liked how the storyline progressed.

I love Jeff Bridges. The cast is great. Isn't Chris Hemsworth in it? He is in it. He's a bad guy. Yeah, he's great in it. That's awesome. It was really long.

I watched it on a plane too. And I don't think I finished it. It was hard. It didn't hold my attention. Yeah. I don't think we I watched it on a plane too. And I don't think I finished it. It was just hard. It didn't hold my attention. Yeah. I don't think we had watched it together. Like it wasn't at the top of our list because it was so long. Isn't it like two and a half hours?

Yeah, it is. I don't know. That's really long for a movie. Did you know there's a sequel to Beartown? No. Yeah, I haven't read it yet. It's called Us Against You. I just picked it up.

Did you like Beartown? Loved. It's a good book, right? I've already passed it yet. It's called Us Against You. I just picked it up. Did you like Beartown? Loved. It's a good book, right? I've already passed it along to a friend. I'm telling you, we can loop back around, but Where the Crawdads Sing, still such a great book. Really? I give that one out all the time. Olivia's reading that right now.

So good, dude. You really loved that book. I really did. I'm going to stop talking about it. Who the heck's at the gate? I don't know. Okay, so my buddy Greg Holden is going to be on the show a little bit, okay? And this was the interview that I taped while you were at Stagecoach.

Oh, yeah. So it's just him and I, and so I'm sorry about that. It's okay. I'll forgive you. But I've been wanting to get on the show, and I'm really sorry. God, I'm pissing off every woman in my life right now. That's all good. What are you doing?

I'm going to have plenty of moments without you when you leave to go to Mexico. That's true. I think. But anyways, he's a phenomenal... I hope. Am I or am I not? I don't know.

Where are you going? We'll see. P.S. There were a lot of the girls that Blake's going to be in paradise with with him at Stagecoach. Stop. How was it? How was it?

I wasn't really running around with that crew this weekend, but I did. They all weaseled their way into my table at Neon Carnival. And it was like Blake was sitting up on the top of the booth in the middle. And it was like, Kaylin, Taysha,

I don't even know. He's like, look at all my bitches. Oh my gosh. With Kirpo's there. It was like a whole bunch of them. Was she there with her band-aid? The band-aid was gone. That should be like her thing, like Nelly.

I know. She's the new Nelly. She's the new Nelly. Anyway. Yeah. Was Hannah G there? No. Didn't see Hannah.

The one that got away. Maybe she did that on purpose. I feel like Hannah G is playing this one smart. She is. I like her. Yeah. I like her too. I'm rooting for her.

I saw Girl With No Job stories from Stagecoach. She was there. And she was with all of the Bachelor people. And I was very confused as to what was happening. I saw her at Neon. Andy Dorfman saw her. Come on. I love Andy. Becca Tilly ran into her. Robbie ran into him at a party. Bachelor Nation is just all

over Stagecoach. Yeah. Why? It's a target-rich environment for Bachelor people because middle America man loves some Bachelor. It's very true. Hannah's season starts soon. I'm excited for it. Next week? I saw it May 13th.

I saw a promo today. It's always right around my birthday. The reason why I know that is because I remember my season was supposed to start airing on May 16th, my birthday. And I remember having a conversation with the producer being like, should I say that tonight's my birthday? Because technically when this will be airing, it will be my birthday. And they were like, no, because we don't know if it's like that's not set in stone. So I know it's like in the middle of May.

Anyways, my buddy Greg Holden. No, it's like in the middle of May. Anyways, my buddy Greg Holden. I know you didn't do the interview, but you can still kind of not just completely sidetrack me. Jerkface. He's a phenomenal songwriter, an amazing singer.

He wrote the song Home for Philip Phillips, and he's got a new record out. So we talk about... Well, anyways, he's coming on the show in a bit. So it'll just be me and him for a little bit. So sorry, but it's going to happen.

It's all good. If this was live, I would be like, I get to go take a nap. See ya. Is that it? I guess this is my exit. Are we done?

I guess. I think you need to get some sleep, girl. I think I slept through half of Game of Thrones just now. Did you? Yeah. I didn't realize it until I... You didn't go back and watch it again?

Yeah, because I didn't realize it until I got to the end go back and watch it again? Yeah, because I didn't realize it until I got to the end where the Night King's about to die and I was like, I didn't see Arya go... Was it a library she was in? That whole scene

didn't happen just now so I must have fallen asleep. Yeah. Or she's like skipping around that library. Yeah. Yeah, so I gotta go back

and watch it. All right. And Postmates Sugarfish because I haven't done that yet this trip. I did that two days in a row this weekend. So good. And Postmates Sugarfish because I haven't done that yet this trip. I did that two days in a row this weekend. That's my favorite, man.

So good. Love Postmates Sugarfish. I love their to-go boxes. It's so smart. It's my go-to. It's like, you know what it is? We were talking about this the other day. It's MacBook packaging for food.

Yes. Absolutely. It's genius. And Alon Gale was hating on it on Twitter. Oh, I know. Oh, really? Hating on it. I mean, I just hope that Josh isn't the one that delivers it.

Josh. Josh. Josh. I hope he is. Jowish. Jowish. I've actually already Postmated twice today. Is three times too many or is it great?

It's never too many. The funny thing is that we don't even have a Postmates ad in this episode. Oh, sorry. Save it for an episode. Okay, fine. We're paying it. All right. Well, thanks for having us over oh real quick

vicinity i'm gonna tell you an obligatory fact about my life working out a lot um and then now here's the reason why the hair is well because you know when you know, when you do hot yoga with weights, your hair gets basically sweat. It looks like you've taken a shower. It's so wet. And then it takes so long for me to just do my hair because it's curly and it's hard.

And so then I'm like, if we're going out to dinner, I want to look good for you. Nice. You look great right now. You're cute. Love her. You look great right now.

You guys should go out. Yeah. Go somewhere cute. Well, we're out now right now. You guys should go out. Yeah. Go somewhere cute. Well, we're out now. I can do Sugarfish. Did you know we're getting a Takaya in Toluca Lake? Really? I'm so pumped.

All right. So right now on YFT, I want to welcome in one of my good buddies, Greg Holden, a dude that I've had on my show, different radio shows for years now. And now that we're both in LA, we're now just buddies and we play golf and hang out and go get drinks. You came over to my crawfish boil the other day. It was great to see you. Yes, sir. How are you? I'm good, man. Sorry for not inviting you to my pizza party the other night. I feel bad about it. Yeah. So I text Greg and I'm like, hey, man, we're having a crawfish boil.

A bunch of people are coming over. Come on over if you can. He's like, oh, mate, I can't because I'm having a pizza party. And I was like, oh, thanks for inviting me, dick. Oh, shit. Well, rest assured, man, the next one, you'll get an invite. No, I don't want. You're not even going to come.

You won't even come now. You won't come out of protest. Yeah, I will not come in spite. All right? You know what? I'll make pizzas just for you, and then you have to come. No one else will be there. All right.

If you don't show up. Then you're just going to be alone. I'm just going to be by myself. So a little backstory on Greg. The first time I ever heard about Greg Holden was we were in a music meeting and the song Home sung by Philip Phillips was all the rage. And we were getting pushed by record label reps to add it. And we had found out that Philip Phillips from American Idol fame didn't actually write it.

It was actually your song. Yes. Co-written. I better say that. Did he write it with you? No, I wrote it with another person called Drew Pearson. Oh. Philip Phillips was not there.

He had nothing to do with it. So your story still holds its... The point of your story still remains. Yeah, it's still right. I'm not lying about it. And so I remember being like, well, why don't we just add the original singer's song? And the record label was like,

well, that's not what we're pushing. And I was like, well, I think we should do that. So we ended up adding Home, but then we also added a different song that was on your record called, was it Bar On A? Yeah. Long time ago. My first record.

Yeah. I still can't believe that. When you told me that, I was so blown away. I didn't even know you were playing it, and it was so cool that you said that. I was like, that never happens. Really? Yeah. I don't know if you can hear, but I'm playing Home right now.

I can't hear that. Well, I know that you have a... I'm turned on, though. I'm definitely turned on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did this song help buy your home? Did Home help buy a home for you? Yes.

Home helped buy me a home. I think I'm going to write a song called Black Porsche 911. That's what I want, by the way. Manifesting all my dream shit by writing songs about them. And then you came on my show and I gotta be honest with you,

there's a few times when I have almost cried on the radio and you sang this song that absolutely just like destroyed me let me see if i can find it really quickly that was a nice moment man that's when you and i became friends that was the moment and i was just like wait wait what is this song there's a song called boys in the street the story is the song is beautiful and so sad and it's about basically uh a young gay man trying to basically come to terms with i guess like maybe making his

father respect him or understand him or be accepted acceptantant of him. And it goes through this entire progression. And finally, as the father's is dying, he accepts his son. Um, and it's an absolutely gorgeous song. If you haven't heard this song, boys in the street,

everyone go listen to it. But what I found even more amazing was I remember on the show, I was like, where did that song come from? And you told this amazing story about how you'd written it like in like 10 minutes. Yes.

And it was for like, I don't want to put words in your mouth. It was like for like an anti-bullying thing or something, right? It was for something. Yeah, my friends run this organization called Everyone is Gay, and they basically help kids

who are coming to terms with their sexuality. They sort of help them. They give them advice. They have blog columns. They wrote a book called This is a Book for the Parents of Gay Kids. So they wrote a book for the actual parents to help them understand what's going on with their kids.

Every year they do this compilation record and they asked me to write a song for it and the brief was, write the gayest song ever. My music is not really like, I'm not going to write a really upbeat, campy song. I was like, well I have to write something dark, but I also have to sort of, you know, make sure that it means something to me too. So I'd sort of challenged myself to write about my relationship with my stepfather. So the song is actually like coming from a place of, you know, true pain from my end while sort of sprinkling in the story of why I was writing the song in the first place. It's playing in the background right now, and it's just, God, I love this song.

I remember when you played it, and afterwards I walked up to our music meeting, and I was like, we need to add this song. And I remember your label guy was like, hold off on that. That's not the song we want to open with. And I was like, labels, man. And I was like,

I was like, what are you talking about? This song is crazy. And I used to do a thing called, well, smells a hit. And I was like, I don't care what the label wants or whatever. This song like touches me.

And I, and I, and I understand like going back, like you're a straight man. The perception of you might be warped if that's what people know you as, I guess. And maybe in that time, people were a little less tolerant of it. But I would say this, that it goes, it's a credence to how amazing of a songwriter you are. That it's kind of your story, but not really.

And it made me feel like I knew this kid and I felt for this kid, you know? Totally. You've got a new record out as of pretty recently, right? Called World War Me. Yeah, it came out two, not even two weeks ago. It'll be two weeks on Friday. You showed me the picture of the cover art

and it looks like you're throwing up your hat, I guess, in the air, and the hat is like completely covering your face. And when you first showed it to me, I was like, oh, cool, like an old gramophone. Yeah, that's so funny. You're the first person to point that out. And since you said that, so many people have said that. That's a nice looking cocktail, man. What are you drinking? It is vodka with, it's like an Italian soda with like San Pellegrino or something. Oh, right, right, right. Do you know what I'm talking about?

It's got a tinfoil on top. It's delicious. My God. But yeah, you were the first person who said it looked like a gramophone. And then ever since then, people have been saying that. But we were never, that was actually never the intention. And when I was doing the artwork, I didn't even think about it. It's so funny.

It totally looks like that. Well, hopefully it wins you a Grammy is what I'm hoping for. That would be perfect. Yeah. What do you want me to play from this record, dude? Play Nothing Changes. First track off the record. It's not a single. My label would probably be mad that I didn't do it, but

we'll close out the interview with your single. How about that? Okay, great. That sounds great. Should I make more cuts yes can i do that while i'm on this thing yeah legally we're only allowed to play 30 seconds of your song so you've got to make this drink and throw yourself in. Is that legal? I don't know. Maybe just don't sue us then if we play more. I'm not going to sue you.

All right, cool. I can do it in six seconds. I keep doing the work, but nothing changes easy. I keep doing the work, but nothing changes. I wanted to get to the chorus. I keep doing the work, but nothing changes easy. Nothing changes easy. I'm gonna spill my blood and let the mark remind me that everything I love will be left behind. There's nothing you can take.

All right. That makes sense. That's good. It didn't help me there. Keep doing the work, but nothing changes. What are you talking about there? My life. Yeah.

My career, my mental state, my emotions, my relationships. Nothing seems to fucking change. Well, maybe if you invited some new friends to your pizza parties, things would change. The show's called Your Favorite Thing. So we'd like to talk about what our favorite things are. It could be something that you're binging, something that you're reading, some music that you're into.

It could be anything. It could be, I did a whole seven minutes the other day on how much I love hose water and drinking out of it. So it literally could be anything. Okay. What are some of your favorite things? Some of my favorite things, my new typewriter. Makes me sound like a hipster fuck,

but I'm really enjoying, I bought a new typewriter. Uh, I'm really enjoying just sitting down and writing on it. I know that sounds so God, I'm such a cliche. I'm enjoying, I just bought this, uh, old Italian vintage, uh, espresso machine. Yep. Uh, you want to see it? Yeah, I do. By the way, also I have a type, and I'm not even a musician or a writer. Wow. Look at this thing. That's beautiful. It's, like, really impossible to use, so it's becoming sort of an obsession.

Yeah. I'm really into—I'm learning Italian. I'm moving to Italy in the summer, so I'm learning Italian. Why are you moving to Italy? Because I'm having a midlife crisis. Yep. That checks out. I thought I would have my eat, pray, love moment. You know, I just got ready for love recently. I've been there.

I've been doing a lot of yoga. And now I'm going to move to Italy and take an intensive Italian course. And I'm going to learn to make bread in Sicily. And I'm just going to have this whole Italian experience. All right. Can I ask a question that I see you and other musicians talking about a lot, and I need to know the facts behind it? Go for it. Why are you guys mad at Spotify right now? Well, I've always been sort of mad at Spotify, but eventually I realized that I'm never going to beat them,

so I should probably join them. However, recently there was this new law that's been trying to be passed uh called the music modernization act which basically updates the payment rules for songwriters because the the way that songwriters have been paid hasn't changed in the last hundred years however the way that music has been consumed has changed dramatically in the last hundred years we as songwriters are not being paid properly for it. We're being paid next to nothing, actually. And now with Spotify and streaming,

it's just sort of impossible to make any money. So anyway, this new bill was passed, called Music Modernization Act, and it helped us get paid a little more. But basically, all the streaming services except apple have appealed it so now it's all up in the air again so spotify this company that sort of claims to champion uh this is really gonna fuck me this is gonna come back and back me in the house i know it you know they sort of do all these like spotlight on all these songwriter geniuses but like they're

fucking us they're they're deciding to appeal this law that would help us be paid correctly so so that's what that's what's going on is they sort of stabbed us in the back essentially how do you even get without the volume without having like the sort of push from the label or the money to get added onto a playlist how do you even get there and this is the thing right labels have regained the control that they lost in the early 2000s because they lost the control and it was back in the hands of the kids and now i think labels with their relationship with all these streaming services and playlists they can pay the money to the playlist curators so that they've sort of regained control and they've regained the money they're making a shitload of money again and like independent artists are really struggling again unless you have a viral video. But even then you still have to you still fighting against a million of the songwriters and you have to do something really dramatic in order to even get your music heard. Like I seriously thought about making my album cover a picture of my dick. Yeah, I really thought about it for a second.

because it just seemed slightly inappropriate but i was just like how am i gonna even stand out and like it if you do something controversial like that maybe it'll get some press and then maybe people will be interested maybe that'll be my next record cover what would do you name that record greg's holding some some meat let me know when you come up with a good title, man. That one wasn't good enough. Okay. I'll keep, I'll keep workshopping it. All right. We'll ask the YFTers out there what you think. All right.

You got any other favorite things? What are you watching right now? What are you binging? Ooh. I just, I'm watching Barry right now. I love it. Dude, are you on season two? Yeah.

Dude, that show, we've talked about it before. That show is amazing. And here's why I think it's one of the best shows on TV right now. Aside from the writing and Henry Winkler being a fucking genius. That's the Fonz, by the way, who is Barry's acting coach. The funniest guy on the show plays the- The bald guy, right? No, no, no.

I think the funniest guy on the show is Bill Hader, the creator and the star of it. Really? The funniest guy in the show is bill hader the the creator and the star of it really the funniest actor on the show is bill hader he's he was an snl he's a comedic actor the amazing thing about that show is the funniest actor plays it completely straight and everyone else is hilarious i see what you're saying right yeah yeah like actually the funniest act another funniest character yeah yeah yeah exactly like the guy that is the funniest guy in the room so serious yes my favorite character is that is that bald guy yes the the guy who plays like the sort of gangster but he's just so like charismatic and just loves life yeah so appreciate everything and i love that character so sarah's good friends with that guy and so every time

we watch it, she's like, I'm so happy for him. He's doing so well. He's the best part of the show. And I'm like, yes, he's carrying this. Him and Henry Winkler both carry that show. It's such a good show. Yeah, it's well written. Alright, dude, I know that you've got some friends over so I don't want to take too much of your time, but the new record is called

World War Me. You need to go buy it, I guess, at gregholden.com. Is that where you go? Gregholdenonline.com. Gregholdenonline.com? Yeah. I didn't get Greg Holden. It's some graphic designer or something.

Fucking asshole that guy is. Yeah. He's pissed off. Is he? Yeah. If you Google my name, he's never going to show up. He's never going to mention anything. You should make him do your dick cover album art next time.

He might beat me to it. He makes internet books, so maybe he'll make the next viral internet book with a picture of his dick. Maybe he'll hear it here and be like, I got to it. That's a good idea. Just both of you guys, both your dicks on the cover. Just Greg holding dicks everywhere. Just everyone's Greg holding on some dick. I'm fully going to do that for my next album.

I think you should. Do you have a good looking dick? It's okay. Yeah. It's a fine looking dick. All right. How is this what we're talking about? Dude, this is what this show is.

But it's great stuff. What's the single, bro? The single, the most recent one is called I'm Not Your Enemy. And I wrote it with a good friend of mine, Garrison Starr, the day after Donald Trump was elected. Oh, wow. So, political song or? Actually, not political. It's more of a peace offering.

It's called I'm Not Your Enemy. So, it's sort of like, hey, I know I'm on this this other side but i'm not you know we're not that different like why why are we all sort of getting into this faces about this yeah because we wanted to write that fuck you song but i think we there was so much hatred going around the internet that we were like let's write something more you know more compassionate like let's write something that maybe will bring people together it didn't work but uh you know like let's but uh the only way donald trump is listening to your record is if you got your cock on the cover bro all right totally by the way do you ever wonder if uh don Donald Trump calls his erect penis the Trump Tower? Oh, my God.

He totally does. Holy shit. You know that? Oh, my God. He totally does. I think I'm going to call my erect penis the Trump Tower. Oh, this is a classy interview, Wells. I think I'm going to call my arrest. I'm not your enemy. Oh, this is a classy interview, Wells.

This is a classy interview. Only love can save us now. As we sing this song. As we sing it. Only love can save us now, bro. What did you say? I'm listening to your song. Only love can save us now

And maybe Pixie for penis Desperate and divided With no one backing down Don't turn away from me now Oh, I'm not your enemy Just an unfamiliar friend

You might not recognize me from before the war began And how could you know I'm not your enemy It is. We wrote actually half the record together.

Really? Yeah, she's the best. You got some shows coming up we got to know about? Oh, yeah, dude. I'm on tour. I should probably mention that. I'm going on tour on the East Coast next week, starting next week. And I'll be on the West Coast as of the 1st of June.

I'm not worrying about it, all right? Fuck, I lost you. I don't know. That was so awkward. It's probably going to be more awkward now. Yeah, I was saying I love you so much, even though you don't invite me to your pizza parties, but it's fine.
